The two of them had seen the brutal methods the Evans family used to handle the Janssen family.

Last night, their families had repeatedly warned them to steer clear of Elysia at school. They were told to avoid any encounters with her, so they wouldn’t remind her of the past and spark her desire for revenge.

Even though their families had deeper roots than the Janssen family, they still felt small next to the Evans family. A single push from them could send them crashing down.

The lesson from the Janssen family had shaken them enough. They didn’t want to end up like Bianca or Emma–whose lives were destroyed and who ended up in prison.

As they were walking, they noticed a familiar figure coming toward them. They immediately tensed up and lowered their heads, trying to avoid eye contact. Just as they were about to turn and run, a cold voice stopped them in their tracks. “Stop”

They froze, a wave of fear rushing over them. Trouble was coming, just as they feared. They kept their heads down, not daring to look up, their bodies trembling with fear.

Elysia took a step forward, her presence commanding and sharp. Her voice was as cold as ever as she said, “Am I some kind of monster?”

The two girls quickly lifted their heads, terrified of saying the wrong thing and making her angry.

Mia felt all her courage slip away when her eyes met Elysia’s. Her voice wavered. “N–no, it’s not that.”

“Not that?” Elysia raised an eyebrow, her gaze sharp. “Then why do you run away every time you see me?”

Guilt twisted their insides. They thought, ‘We know exactly what happened before. If we cross you again and make you angry, we’ll end up just like the Janssen family. We’re not ready for that kind of end!‘

Seeing their anxious faces, Elysia’s frown deepened. “What’s with the silent treatment? Come on. Speak up. Let me hear it.”

At those words, Natalie took a deep breath and finally spoke. “Ms. Rosewood, no, Ms. Evans, about what happened before... we were stupid. We got misled by Emma, and we did a lot of things we shouldn’t have. We’re here to apologize. We’re really sorry.”

Mia quickly added, “Ms. Evans, we’re sorry. Please, forgive us.”

Elysia’s lips curled into a deeper, more amused smile. The tables have turned. She used to be the daughter of the Rosewood family, and they would make her life a living hell at every turn.

Now, she returned to the Evans family, and here they were–crawling back like desperate puppies and begging for her forgiveness.

In the end, it was all about fear of power.

But if they thought a simple apology could erase everything, they were sorely mistaken.

She raised an eyebrow. “I really don’t know... Were your families so overprotective that you turned out this naïve? You honestly think saying ‘sorry‘ is enough to undo everything that has happened?”

Their hearts dropped, panic swelling in their chests.

What is she going to do now?‘ they thought.

Elysia crossed her arms over her chest, her voice cold and biting. “If I’m not mistaken, your name is Natalie, right?”

1/3 Chapter 359 Her eyes shifted, locking onto Mia, and she sneered. “And you must be Mix, bub Neither of them nodded. They just stood there, frozen with their eyes wide like two comered animés Actually, calling them animals would be too kind.

Elysia let out a mocking laugh, her voice light. “I never thought I’d see the day when you two world from way you gote, lower your heads, and suddenly get all cautions. If you knew this would happen, why even bother in the first ghant She shot them a disdainful look. “You could call it ‘reading the situation; if you want to be nice. You honestly? You are just bullies, picking on the weak. The second you face someone stronger, you hide like litre turtles They didn’t respond. With their heads lowered, they were afraid to speak. If Elysia forgave them after getting her frustrations out, fine. If not, they had nothing left to fight with.

Elysia continued, “You’re both just scared you’ll end up like the Janssen family, huh? Are you worried the Ewans family will come after you? You’re not even worth their time. Let’s be real. If the Evans family touched you, they’d just be drying for hands.”

Her words hit them hard. They hadn’t seen it before, but now it was clear–Elysia was suggesting their families couldn’t even hold their own against the Janssen family, From the moment she asked their names, they realized she didn’t see them as important at all.

As anger swirled in their stomachs, a small part of them also felt a sense of relief. They thought maybe the wouldn’t go after them after all.

But before they could process that, Elysia’s voice sliced through the tension, sharp and cold. “But don’t worry, I won’t let the Evans family get involved. I, Elysia, will take care of you myself.”

The two girls‘ eyes widened in disbelief. Shock flooded their faces. They didn’t expect her to say she’d deal with them herself.

They had no idea where she found the confidence and the power to back up that claim. It all sounded so naïve.

They could see the determination in her eyes and the serious look on her face. Somehow, they actually seemed to believe what she was saying.

They remembered how they could never hurt her no matter what they had done before. In fact, it always seemed like they ended up being the ones controlled by her.

Then there was the buzz on social media lately–she won a programming competition and even knew the famous internet figure Neo. Besides the Evans family, there were still too many powerful, influential people who vouched for her identity just days ago.

Those people included Jack, Max, Zane, and Vincent. They were anything but ordinary.

They’d heard from their families that when Elysia was still with the Rosewood family, the head of the Hayes family had to personally apologize for the necklace incident. The order came straight from the owner of Arcanum House.

They began to realize that maybe Elysia really did have the power to take them down.

When they looked at her again, there was a glint of fear in their eyes. For some reason, they felt that if Elysia decided to go after them, the outcome would be far worse than if the Evans family did.

Seeing their reactions, Elysia couldn’t help but smile, thinking, ‘Good. After Emma is away, they definitely become smarter. At least now, they didn’t overestimate themselves.‘

If this had happened in the past, they might’ve tried to argue with her. They might’ve even dared to say something like, 2/3 09:32 W Chapter 359 “Mess with me? You’re messing with bell!”

But now, Elysia could clearly see the fear in their eyes. And she thought to herself. Their fear is a good thing Before she could say anything, Natalie grabbed Elysia’s hand, her voice desper as she begged. Elysis please be Please, don’t punish us.”

Tears welled up in her eyes, and soon they began to fall down her cheeks.

Elysia didn’t speak. She just stared at Natalie’s hand, which was still holding hers, her face dightly whoppy Seeing this, Natalie quickly let go of her hand, wiping away her tears as she sobbed, “What do you want from me to forfree me?

I’ll kneel, I’ll kneel if you want! Will you forgive me then?”

Mia followed, her voice shaking. “Elysia, we were wrong before. Please, let it go this time. We beg you, we’ll knee won her kneel if that’s what it takes.”
